Maggie is one of our dear friends who I met 8 years ago while volunteering in Ecuador. She is one of the most thoughtful, generous, loving, and compassionate people we know. So, Nathaniel and I could not have been more excited when she agreed to be little HJ's God-Mother. This past weekend we were thrilled to celebrate her wedding to Matt. It was such a beautiful occasion-every little detail really spoke to who they are, both as individuals, as well as a couple.
Here is HJ's first picture (sorta) with his God-Mother.
The reception was at Minneapolis City Hall-everything was just gorgeous, and the food was fantastic!
As we had these pictures taken, we could not help but wonder if these will be the last pictures taken as just hubby and wifey before we become mama and poppie. With HJ's due date less than a month away, it is hard to say!

You and Nathaniel look so lovely and happy! You have had a wonderful journey as a couple --first dating and getting to know each other and wondering if "this was the one", then as an engaged man and woman, committing to grow together in faith and love, and now as a loving husband and wife, eager to share your love and hopefulness with a child.
My prayer is for your sure confidence that God has called you to be parents to this child at this time in your lives. He will teach you how to be a "mommy and poppie", and indeed is already teaching you now.
Maggie will be a wonderful God Mother and will be a great support for you as you raise your child in faith.
Love you all!
Mom (oops...Grandma!)
